The question you have to ask yourself is whether you want to Sign-in to the OPTIONAL EXTRAS that are on offer? They are not obligatory and you can keep to the forum only if you wish.

That is incorrect for some of us.

Actually it is correct for all. However some of you are experiencing some sort of incompatibility in systems and THAT is what is causing the problems.

Fluffy it wouldn`t let me register because it wouldn`t accept my password from here. I was told by Lori that the system was only recognising the password we used at our temporary Eve home before we came to Gaga. I forgot it but they sent it and only then I was able to register.

Yes, you are. All people who are registered for here are on Live Cloud. The trouble seems to arise for some when they try to complete their PROFILE, which I have been led to believe is only needed if you want to participate in the Social Networking side of things. I am of the understanding that when this forum moves over you will be able to go straight to it without having anything to do with the rest of LC at all.

The one time that I did make a tentative comment on a thread it sent me an e mail every time someone posted on it (even though I changed my preferences to stop it)
I don't know if its stopped because the thread has disappeared or because my changes in preferences has taken effect as I haven't been over to check.
I don't want to be deluged with anymore piles of unwanted e mails.

when signed in click MANAGE then settings and scroll to the bottom and click the vacation box. That should stop all e-mails.

You have do go through all the rigramole of signing in and giving out all your personal details even if you have absolutely no intention of doing anything other than posting on the forums.

Thanks Squiggle. But I honestly don't think I will be spending much time over there under it's present format. I HATE it!

A further problem is, or so it seems to me, some people are going there with an expectation of how things should look/work and if the reality does not match the way they want it to be this then means that it's rubbish in all aspects.

The one thing I would say to everyone is don't give up too quickly. It was absolutely DIRE at first there is no other word. But thanks to the hard work of those who have been pointing out glitches and those who have been working to put those things right it is slowly coming around. I really believe that in the end we will have something usable and that we can still enjoy.

I must have missed the original notice of the log in change Fluffy. I believe there was a sticky but it was removed.

I don`t know much about whether the profile has to be completed or not but it certainly automatically came up when I registered. I filled it in because I thought I had to. It doesn`t say otherwise.

I don`t think it`s rubbish but Livecloud is not as user friendly as here, especially when you`re a technophobe like me and there seems to be lots of us around.

I`m going to give it a go anyway. I`m learning something new every day. It`s retaining it that`s the problem.

Yes, the initial Sticky about it was removed but it was still on the Community announcements Forum, however I see it has been edited. So the original stuff I read can't be checked. You shouldn't have needed to register just SIGN-IN. BY signing in you would have been asked to complete your profile, not make a new one. I hope you all believe me when I say I am not addressing my remarks and comments to anyone specifically, but that it'd an amalgamation of things I have seen and read. Also what I am saying is How things are SUPPOSED to work. I am aware that things have gone wrong for some (for whatever reason), but that does not meen that the basic method I am espousing is wrong, it just means that some people are having problems. We all still need to start off by trying the 'how things are supposed to work' method.

Bear in mind that(assuming all goes as it should)after you get to the home page ( www.hoo.do ) you can EXPLORE and read certain things without Signing-in or completing your profile.

I'm sure you're not really a technophobe. It's just that these things come more easily to some than others.

And another thing to bear in mind is that, having opened a full profile you have full control over it and can close it down completely, if you so desire.

At the moment weare still two seperate things (like us being in one house and Live Cloud being in the next door house, but the key to open both doors is the same. (e-mail addy + password). In a very few days now we will be moved into the same house as each other and will have one communal front door that'll open onto the hall (Home Page). Door to one side (Explore>communities)will take us to this forum and all the other doors will take us to aspects of Live Cloud's Social Networking features.

It's moving over there sometime during the final week. I did ask if the moving day could be put off until a week after the final but the answer is no. Read my post and the answer HERE.

Simple fact is that this forum works for a lot of people. I find the forums over at LiveCloud in no way to be as good as this one, the style is easy to read, there is a decent amount of margin either side of the page and please do not tell me to adjust my monitor, because it works just fine on every other forum and website I go on to.

We will lose sigs at the end of every post, the type is not as good as here and people can go on until they are blue in the face saying that it is for the better, personally I am of the opinion, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but we are very much in the minority and being cried down by the people who love it are wanting to use the other things that are in place, and I admit that I have and will use the blog and the wall, but I can see, even if some of you can't that BB was getting really upset by the comments and the frustration about not being able to get into LiveCloud.

I shall be sorry to see this style of forum go, it may be old fashioned, but it is very, very userfriendly.

so this forum will come up automatically when communities is clicked ? if thats the case i think i know what i'm doing

I already have....did I tell you about the bus btw?

bus.......... bus where do i get on dont let it go without me

It leaves from The Square at 8.15...

Everytime I enter a password it keeps asking for it again.

I agree with every word and I don't see how the format can be that old-fashioned when it is in daily use over on Eve Communities' every other forum.

There's nothing gold-fashioned about this forum. You are perfectly correct Squiggle. It's different to the phPbb forums as it's more basic but that can often be a good thing.

The sorry excuse for a forum that they currently have in place on the black cloud website is quite simply awfy! It's very sad but I think that changing the format of this community will see a steady trickle of members disappearing over the next few weeks and months and eventually the community will die a death. It's inevitable unless something is done to keep the community in it's present format. I've seen this happen over the years on other large communities.

I went traipsing around a lot of Eve forums today, they all have the Eve layout the same as this, thats why I don't understand why the format has to change.

Are you lot still moaning?

If you don't like it, either start your own place or google for another forum that looks a lot like this.

Or join Live Cloud and if you don't like it....leave!

I've had some discussions about the profile business and have to admit that either I misread the initial notification or it was sufficiently ambiguous as to enable different interpretations, (Of course I go with the ambiguity option - <It's not my fault miss> > So it now appears that in order to post on this forum once it is 'over there' you WILL need to complete your profile and sign in. Until then you will only be able to read the forums, but everything else I have said about the way Live Cloud functions is true. It is just unfortunate that a few people are experiencing some problems, for whatever reason.
